Everyone has their own way to keep their coupons organized. Of course I have my big binder full of coupons:
I also have an accordion folder full of inserts filed by type (P&G, RP, SS) and date:
I only clip coupons for items I am positive I will be using, like brands I always buy or something I know we need at the store that week. What's left of the coupon inserts are filed for future reference. When I see something go on sale later, I can look in my accordion folder for that insert and find the coupon quickly.
I'm not one to lug around a huge binder when I go shopping (though sometimes I wish I did). On most shopping trips I only take my handy dandy little clipboard:
On my clipboard I keep my shopping list plus an envelope of coupons for each store I'll be shopping at that day. This is all I take into the store with me.
Using 1 envelope for each store makes it easier for me to keep the coupons organized. Once I start shopping, I don't have to hunt for coupons. I just follow my list and use the coupons in the envelope. Before my shopping trip, I file all the coupons I find in the envelopes according to what I'll be buying where. Any coupons I don't use get put back in the envelope, and I sort them out when I get home and put them back in the binder to use next time.
